Fellini, the director

me-drinking socially
I’m fine

Cut to

just north of here

under freeway
sleeping
blanket, pillow
in my ear…lost

Cut

morning
west of my bedroll
close by
too close
woman and
her

children

gathering among the worn glass
once rented furniture
collecting a home
for

the children

would soon be moving into..
no maps

cut to night shot

on the west side
a used up couple
in their
car

loving and loving and loving and loving
going down

character study

the denial
the drinking
the ache
the lonliness
the ugly
the numb
the temporary
the slip
the wagon
the wheel
the moon
the stars
the lying on my back…

south
it’s a take
